The most important thing that my 3-year-old daughter has taught me is to always be inquisitive. Once, I showed her the neighborhood canal and told her that it’s called “nahar” in Hindi. Immediately a question came my way – “Why is it called so, mumma?” I didn’t have an answer. On looking it up, I learned that the roots are actually Arabic as well as Urdu. Also, that Naharu or Nehru is someone who lives near a canal or a river. So much information only because the little one managed to ignite that curiosity in my mind. This is just one such example. My little one’s obstinate obsession with questions helps me in becoming an informed individual, and I can’t thank her enough for so.
